A former government contractor was found guilty Wednesday of stealing U.S. property from an military base in Afghanistan and shipping those items to his Arizona home for resale, officials said.

The former contractor, Michael Dale Gilbert, 38, of Young, was convicted of three counts of theft and unauthorized sale of government property, and one count of interstate transportation of stolen property, said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Strange.

Gilbert worked at PAE Government Services, a contractor that provides logistics and other support to the U.S. Department of State and the Department of Defense across the globe, including in Afghanistan, Strange said.

From 2012 to 2015, Gilbert worked at Kandahar Airfield and was assigned to arrange for transfer or destruction to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands, Strange said.

During that time, instead of transporting or facilitating the destruction of U.S. government property, Gilbert shipped items to his residence in Arizona, Strange said.

Gilbert stole an estimated $48,900 in government property and then sold around $3,700 worth of items through eBay, Strange said.

Gilbert also sold approximately $28,500 of items through other means. Items valued at about $16,700 were found at his home, Strange said.
